And no. They’ve done it to themselves and all indications are most would miss the point of why it worked here.

Firearms Ownership Is As Feminist As Feminism Gets [More]
Their readers aren’t the ones who need convincing.
I still think Ranjit’s got some ‘splainin’ to do about a major threat he not only ignores, but dismisses.
And Amy Swearer-endorsed red flag laws are also as feminist as applied feminism gets.

Today’s Five-Minute Activism
On the way back from my routine doctor visit my wife and I stopped in at the supermarket to pick up dinner fixings for tonight ( I make a very good Italian sausage and peppers if I say so myself), and one of the things I usually check is the magazine stand to see if the new issue of Firearms News is on display yet.
Someone moved magazines from other sections and placed them to cover most of the gun mags. It’s not the first time I’ve noticed and set things right.
I can just imagine the bitter, self-righteous, indignant type that has no clue what this says about her as a human being, and instead perversely justifies this to herself and other frustrated cud chewers. And yeah, I just made assumptions drawing on stereotypes. Change my mind.
The thought strikes: In addition to the other resolutions, why not make a point of checking when you’re in the store and setting things right?

Clueless Morons Make Noise About Guns
Gun violence prevention group speaks on deadly Ferguson gun battle [More]
Did they say anything worth listening to?
And they don’t think the admission of “generational poverty” in a land of “free” K-12 education, available jobs, and a universal understanding of how babies are made reflects on their ability to make competent decisions…?

Shall Not Be Infringed Unless…
We learned that the denials were due to font sizes that were too small, the lack of compliant visual indicators, and so forth. We have just received additional responsive documents from the DOJ which explain their position that, pursuant to the California Code of Regulations, the explanatory text for the CLIs must be permanently displayed by engraving, stamping, etching, molding, casting, or other means of permanent marking. If the explanatory text can be removed, such as with acetone, that will NOT be sufficient for roster approval. [More]
Now they’re just being d!cks.
This is one of the things we ought to be pressing Trump on:
Imagine now the Department of Justice under an actual Second Amendment advocate, and what it could do fighting infringements and prohibitionist lawfare waged by states with unlimited tax war chests in tandem with Astroturf prohibitionist groups funded by antigun elites. Right now, the costs to defend against these innumerable assaults on all levels are borne by gun rights groups and members of mostly modest means who can only support a fraction of what is needed. That equation could be turned on its head.
That presupposes Pam Bondi’s inclination to demand infringements can be reined in and reversed.

Speaking of Racial Disenfranchisement…
His research indicates that an overwhelming majority of initial denials, approximately 99%, are errors, disproportionately affecting Hispanic and Black males due to phonetic similarities in names within racial groups. [More]
Yes, we get it. We’ve gotten it for a long time. Gun control is racist.
So, when are self-annointed “black leaders” going to stop being self-serving sellouts to the Democrat machine, and when will its patronizing white politicians, “authorized journalists,” and assorted prohibitionists start being condemned for the insufferable bigots that they are?

ATF to Big Brother: Hold Our Beer
Did you know that every time you search for guns or ammo online, someone’s watching? Well you probably already know, but if you think it’s just the algorithms that feed you ads, think again—the ATF is also watching your searches. Worse, they use your digital activity to shape bans and enforcement actions. And no, we’re not fear mongering here. Published reports confirm that your searches are being tracked, analyzed, and even used to forecast so-called “threats.” [Watch]
The question then becomes what do Donald Trump and whomever he appoints to head the Bureau intend to do about this?

Blast from the Past Part II
We talked a few month back about George Gramlich, Editor of the Sangre de Cristo Sentinel sending me one of the few remaining signed magazines from Mike Vanderboegh’s smuggling exploits. [More]
I wasn’t sure how I was going to preserve it and decided over the weekend to put it in a hangable shadow box along with a sample of Threeperware from years gone by.
Arts and crafts were never my strong suit, but I like what I put together just fine:
I’ll get an engraving plate to affix to the bottom to read “Defy. Resist. Evade. Smuggle.” and my project will be complete.
I think my friend would have gotten a kick out of this, and I found the perfect place to hang it.
No Matter the Cost?
Costco defends DEI program as other major retailers drop controversial diversity push [More]
That’s bad enough but irrelevant to the reason I won’t join the one that opened just down the road:
At Costco, we don’t believe it’s necessary to bring firearms into our warehouses, except in the case of authorized law enforcement officers. For the protection of all our members and employees, we feel this is a reasonable and prudent precaution to ensure a pleasant shopping experience and safe workplace.
Money that enriches their billionaire chairman enabled Obama and Biden to undermine RKBA. Not that oblivious/disinterested American consumers mind.
Besides, look how much they saved on eggs!

To paraphrase Rhett Butler, they should be dragged and often, and by someone who knows how.
They had a chance to sustain real journalism about guns and Mexico with Sharyl Attkisson, but instead decided that didn’t fit the approved narrative. They could’a been contenders instead of DSM bums, which is what they are, let’s face it.
